Any one
of those words on its own sound quite pleasant, but together it is oppressive,
and surprisingly so.
Sitting in a warm office, it’s quiet and the lights are off. Peacefully the two occupants slowly click away at their keyboards, happy and productive. Then it happens. It isn’t violent. It isn’t even shocking. It’s just a wind so warm as to be disconcerting. Breezes, the movements of air, are supposed to be refreshing. A change of directionality can feel like a sigh of relief on even the hottest day. So when the breeze blows and you’re caught in the channel of a wind that is warmer than ambient air, when there is no heater to act as source or even something like an air conditioner that is creating some great contrast: The movement is offensive. It. Is. Hot.

Happy and Healthful Ramadan Everyone
Happy and healthful ... with vultures?
ReplyDeleteEagles? Hawks? We discussed that vultures hung around there, but didn't think that these were those ... I'll be impressed if someone can ID these birds. Full scientific name please!
